Currently, much attention is paid to pathogenetic methods of treatment of community-acquired pneumonia. As a rule, pneumonia is accompanied by a violation of the balance of formation and discharge of bronchial secretions. In order to normalize the drainage function of the bronchi, both pharmacological and mechanical methods of influencing the muciliary clearance are successfully used. The comprehensive use of the entire arsenal of therapeutic capabilities allows you to minimize the duration of the patient's stay in a hospital bed, as well as speed up the process of restoring impaired lung functions after pneumonia. The study was conducted in the pulmonology Department of the district hospital of the Eastern military district. The effectiveness of using the device of vibroacoustic influence on the chest using the BARK VibroLUNG device in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia was studied. In addition to the traditional therapy regimens, 5 to 7 sessions of hardware vibration massage were performed. In patients who received a course of vibroacoustic massage, there was a decrease in the duration of General intoxication, productive cough, and physical signs of lung tissue consolidation. Regression of the main clinical manifestations of pneumonia was accompanied by an increase in sputum discharge, simultaneously with a decrease in the time of its production. The main group of patients was characterized by the best time for normalization of acute-phase indicators, restoration of lung ventilation function, and resolution of pneumonic infiltration according to X-ray data. The use of a course of vibration exposure to the chest allowed to reduce the duration of stationary treatment by an average of 3 days.
Fifty-seven patients with grade 1 essential hypertension concurrent with chronic obstructive bronchitis or bronchial asthma were examined. They were found to have characteristics of the daily blood pressure profile, such as a high load due to pressure and its inadequate nocturnal lowering. The concentric type of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is typical of the vast majority of persons of this category. The patients with a high LVH concentricity have more significant imbalance of autonomic cardiac rhythm regulation with the preponderance of myocardial sympathetic impact while those with low LVH concentricity showed higher aldosterone secretion.
Community acquired pneumonia is one of the most topical acute respiratory diseases, which is caused by high incidence rate, especially in organized groups of people, constantly changing microbial flora, the increasing resistance of bacteria to antibacterial drugs, difficulties in etiological diagnostics, and the possibility of life-threatening complications and fatalities. An innovative algorithm of etiological diagnostics of community acquired pneumonia is suggested, which includes immunochromatography express-tests of sputum for viruses detection, bacteriological sputum culture, immunoenzyme assay of blood and polymerase chain reaction of sputum and blood serum. It is shown that standard bacteriological sputum culture did not allow us to reveal causative agents of community-acquired pneumonia timely and precisely in most cases, whereas the application of more comprehensive etiological diagnostics enabled us to reveal the causative agent in the majority of the examined patients. And express methods provided an opportunity to verify the infectious agent within 1-2 days and administer early effective etiotropic treatment. It is demonstrated that modern community acquired viral bacterial pneumonia has a number of clinical and laboratory features depending on the revealed viral agents. These features may be used as additional diagnostic criteria of the disease, especially when modern methods of etiological diagnostics are unavailable. The obtained results showed the effectiveness of the use of immunochromatography express-tests of sputum, polymerase chain reaction of sputum and blood serum, and immunoenzyme assay of blood. As a result of statistical analysis, a number of characteristic clinical and laboratory predictors of certain viral-bacterial associations of modern community acquired pneumonia was determined.
One of the approaches to the formation of adherence to long-term treatment of patients with bronchial asthma, the basis of which is the introduction of a learning factor into their therapeutic complex, is considered. The cognitive strategy of individual and group education of patients in the Asthma School environment helps to awaken the patient’s activity at the level of competence in the management of the illness, and cooperation with the attending physician. The patient consistently acquires the necessary knowledge, useful skills and confidence in the importance of personal participation in the treatment of this disease, moving from compliance to informed adherence to treatment. The significant advantages of long-term treatment of bronchial asthma, in which trained patients are involved, are shown.
